why do I have to enter all 57 of the course I've taken if I will be sending them my transcript? also, how do I determine the AACOMAS grade?

Think of the time you spent filling out your application. Maybe you had to look up some info on some courses on top of that. Now multiply all that time by 1000's.

The application process would take an extra year and would be much more expensive if AACOMAS or AMCAS had to enter in each of our transcripts. Having you enter the info and then they check makes things go quicker.

It's actually for your benefit...you get to put up away messages like "Man, these medical school applications are so much work but atleast I know that one day I will save orphans with diseases because of all the work I am doing now"

The chicks love it 😀

haha nice 😉

also, if i got a "BC" is that a B- or a C+ for aacomas?

I remember when I was filling out my application thinking that I resented very much having to do AACOMAS' work for them and then pay them for my services. 😀

Yeah, and once you do that, you say:
"Thank you, sir, may I have another?"

Others who have been in school for a long time (undergrad/grad school/ pre-med post bacc) across several schools and across several countries have a lot of copy/pasting to do across tmdsas/aacomas/amcas.

you have to look at it as an opportunity, you get first crack at liisting which of your classes are science classes. many people have those random classes like "philosophy for poets" but its really a biology class where you learn everything about vertebrate anatomy..... of course im exaggerating, but you do get somewhat of a chance to explain what does or does not belong in the calculation of your BCPM or science gpa.

haha, good stuff, I have the book that pic is from and recognized Cyriax immediately. I learned that stuff in PT school. I wonder if he got any flack from his MD counterparts for all his manual techniques???
